I have no experience with Nording, but the one pipe I smoke in that pipe range is Stanwell. I didn't recommend them for a few years, as I had no idea if the newer Italian ones were up to snuff, but now that I have one and have smoked it for a while, I'll give the new ones a big thumbs up. As I've "moved up the food chain" so to speak on pipes, I generally have given up on the lesser pipes after being exposed to 'better' pipes. The one exception to this has been my Stanwells. They still get smoked, and there's a couple that sit right on the "nice pipe" racks with my big boys. Besides, it's the only way I'll ever be able to hold a Sixten Ivarsson design!
